    Ingredients

• 2 cups roasted peanuts (roughly chopped)
• 1½ cups milk chocolate (chopped)
• ½ cup dark chocolate (optional, for richer flavor)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp honey or corn syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

    Method

    Step 1

Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square pan or container with parchment paper.

    Step 2

Roughly chop the roasted peanuts and place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Step 3

Add milk chocolate, dark chocolate, butter, and honey to a heatproof bowl. Melt using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

    Step 4

Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

    Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chopped peanuts and mix until all peanuts are evenly coated.

    Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Press gently with the back of a spoon to compact the mixture.

    Step 7

For a decorative finish, sprinkle a few extra chopped peanuts on top.

    Step 8

Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.

    Step 9

Remove from the pan, cut into bars or squares, and serve.

    Tips

• Use salted peanuts for a sweet-and-salty flavor.
• Add ¼ cup crushed biscuits or crispy rice cereal for extra crunch.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Drizzle white chocolate on top for a bakery-style presentation.
